This is a vid I did for my son who lives away from home and is learning guitar via youtube.
It's not very good, but I thought it may be of some help to people having some trouble with the F chord, or bar chords.

Nice vid!

F chords often make me say a word or two that start with the letter F.

Lately what I've been trying to force myself to do is to make my F chords with my index finger across all three treble strings, instead of just the bottom two. That way I can make an F minor just by lifting my middle finger off. It's not easy, though, and it's a harder transition from some other chords; like from C.

Don't know if that's a useful idea to anyone else, but I thought I'd put it out there.

Hi Skinny, I don't think I saw this first time around. Great video! So what was the guitar you bought? I couldn't tell from the video.

Wow. The F chord really gave me problems. I watched this and now I can play it just fine!
